Subject: must fatefully dispute claims

for whatever reason, this show has made its way into the public sphere as the dominant performance within May '77 while there are many others which might percolate the fanatic's attention. Virtually any single date show and song has the opportunity to build upon extremes. With all that being said, Cornell should be of the interest to anyone first coming into the Dead. It exhausts all premature conceptions to truly stand for enlightening the listener. Myself included. The Scarlet/Fire was my first touch into the music, and I've heard countless (nay, infinite) interpretations. But, always seeming to come back here.

This recording is cleaned up and not a touch more superfluous - you can get the CD anywhere, but this adds a lot of depth restored from 'stale' soundboards. Once again, does what an Audience Recording should enable. Do your best to not stray too far through the woods...there is a light within you that will guide as best as any fire. Peace be with you * Nick

I'm sorry but SOME OF YOU out there are BURNED OUT. This is a GREAT SHOW. How did some of you become such lemmings and fools?

Great sound from a great great show that I just cant stop listening to. First show was in 88 but good music is good music no matter what year you're listening to it in.

5 stars all the way.

long live, long ago...

Subject: Magnificent.

Another recording that I first heard on 88.1 KDHX in St. Louis.

I was attracted to it when I heard it and also when the DJ reported that some people think this concert never went on stage, that it was a social experiment some thought was planted within their minds by the CIA (or something along those lines). And I have to say, this show sounds noticeably different than most shows by the Dead. I love their older shows from the 60s and 70s and this is one that will keep my interest for a while. I'd love to hear from others, their experience at this show and other "conspiracy" theories as the DJ at KDHX noted. Some stories fascinate me and some sounds just blow me away!

Happy listening and glad you found this recording as well!

Subject: How Moore & Miller Do It...

to capture and re-present how it was done ... continues to amaze.

'Tis a primer in tasteful compression. Caff, caff.

Near the conclusion of Morning Dew, my body and soul entered the state of total ecstasy.

Jerry Moore (R.I.P), whom I never met, but communed with upon occasions numerous, had a knack of recording this band. Charlie Miller, also whom I have never met, has a supreme knack of doctoring these old recordings to make 'em sound lustrous and vibrant.

Neither of these gentlemen have I ever met, but I know we have stood close to one another on more than one instance...

And it feels like I am standing next to them right now.
